AACS Athlete Jalloh Preaches Faith and Football

"I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last."
(Book of Revelation, Chapter 1, verse 8)

The joke in the Jalloh family is that their son, Alpha Jalloh, was named after the one and only: God.

It's not true. The name wasn't a Christian appellation the Jallohs decided to bestow upon their child. Rather, the moniker came from Alpha's aunt, who lived in Sierra Leone in West Africa. Moreover, unlike the Western definition of Alpha - "the first" - in Africa the name means "leader."

"So there really is no connection at all with Alpha and Omega or Christ or anything like that," chuckled Jalloh, a junior athlete from Annapolis Area Christian School. "But I wish it did."

In an age where more and more young people are turning away from Christianity - and religion in general - Alpha Jalloh embraces it. To Jalloh, his faith is the reason for his being.

Jalloh is a great guy and looks to be making a lot of progress since he got on the team. Could be a starter in the future, but hopefully he becomes a special teams force in the meantime.
